IR Aftermath (Those Dead PCs are back in action! )

[Kalanyr]

Faysaran teleports away from the glade and arrives in safety in the inn.

OOC-Since no one is doing anything and more than 24 hours have passed:

Xarindel feels the dark influence overwhelm him. (Natural 1 on save).

Suddenly in the glade stand 3 6 armed creatures with the torsos of women and long snaketails each carries a collectiom of 6 razor sharp looking blades.

 

['o Skoteinos]

[Marilith is what? Cr 14? :/

Well, Forske, finally a chance to show off. Got get em girl! ]

 

[Gurdjieff]

Valiance rages again, charging at his new opponents. "For the greater good!" He screams as he draws his lightsabres during the charge.

 

[The Forsaken One]

Nyovne dashes after Valiance, flipping her daggers out and screaming in a frenzy. Raging with bloodlust she moves into flanking position and lays the smack on these beeaaatches.

[Flank with Valiance and lay the sneak attack smack on them, all items are activated, major displacement, rings and the works.]

 

[Darkwolf]

Faysaran looks around for Janos.


(after finding him and Lela)
"Janos, I'm here to bring you to where we are. We need to go after some dead compatriots. We found the glade where the cultists meet and the guardian wrecked us. We need your magical support."

 

['o Skoteinos]

Janos looks at Faysaran dumbstruck. "Let my get my facts straight. First, Xarindel excludes me from a simple mission of vengance, since I was bound to create problems..."

"You then kill the Rahksasha, but instead of coming back, you figure, what the hell, let's investigate this glade without Janos, it's better without him, really."

"And then, you manage to 'get wrecked' by the guardian of the glade, which I, by the way, know is one of the leaders of this Melkor Cult, but clearly, he is more powerful than anyone suspected. And this, exactly, is HOW MUCH better than the problems I would have created?"

"So then, when you have suffered some losses, you think: 'Yeah, let's go get the other mage, he might actually do something useful. Boy, I sure hope he isn't pissed about us leaving him behind in the tavern all day, while we are doing the serious work, for which we were actually hired. He should still have his spell memorized, and be in a good condition, so he can solve the mess we've gotten ourselves into...'."

He takes a moment to calm down a bit.

"However tempting, I'm not gonna let all you people die because Xarindel grossly misjudged the situation... If you can briefly fill me in on what you've done and what has attacked you, I would appreciate it. After that, please take me to them Faysaran, and I'll see what I can do..."

 

[Darkwolf]

"You summed Xarindel's mistakes up quite nicely. Not quite how I would have done things, but no one listens to quiet druids."

Faysaran fills Janos in on what happened (ooc: cheesy, but considering I missed a good portion of it due to being away it's what is necessary)

"I wish I could take you to them, however I used the only method of teleportation I had to get here. Everyone up there seems to be in shock or something. I can give you a great image of it but that is the best I can do. I was hoping you had a teleport spell ready to go, otherwise we'll have to wait a few hours."

 

['o Skoteinos]

"I think we should evaluate what we've done today. For now, we must try to find Mektos, Traal and Remus..."

"Lela, could you Teleport us to the glade?"

"Sure." She then puts her hands on their shoulders and casts Teleport Witout Error to the glade."

[Miracle actually]

Surprise Round:
Two Mariliths glow with unholy auras, the other fades from sight those who can see invisibility or possess true sight not it is now on the ethereal plane. Xarindel casts a teleport spell and disappears and the cloud disipitates with him.

Round 1
Nyvonne waits for Valiance to move into combat with a Marilith (Holding her Initiative to 19).
Valliance charges into combat and gets struck by one of the mariliths whirling blades for 18 points of damage, but pushes on through the Mariliths back pushing, making it into combat Valiance attacks a Marilith and hits it for 34 points of damage.
Nyvonne then moves to a flanking position easily avoiding the attack of the Marilith attemtping to stop her and stabs the Marilith in a vital spot with her dagger for 28 points of damage.
Becoming a whirlwind of steel Nyvonne hits the Marilith with a single attack out of the 5 dealing an additional 25 hit points of damage.

The ethereal marilith casts two spells blurring into quicker motion before blurring making it hard to locate.

The remaining Mariliths on the prime retalliate at Valliance one using its reach to devestating effect launching into a whirling cyclone of sharp rapier blades doing a total of 166 points of damage to the barbarian from 3 precise strikes with its rapiers and 2 lesser blows and then moving behind Nyvonne putting it 10' from the barbarian. The Marilith then concentrates for a second even as Nyvonne hits it for 4 points of damage.

(by 10 feet I mean a gap of 2 squares ie a 5' step does not put it in range. Unless you step on Nyvonne.)

The badly wounded Marilith also becomes a razorish nightmare of moving steel but inflicts only 66 points of damage, it then disappears.

If you are going to be away and want me to take over your character for a time post and tell me, otherwise I'll assume the character does nothing.
